Your Gateway NV nv79 only supports memory modules made with a specific type of chip. Should you find what seems to be the exact same memory modules elsewhere for a lower price, it is very possible that the cheaper memory modules will not work in your system. By using Memory-Up's Memory Finder, your selected memory modules are Guaranteed To Work or your money back.<Learn More>

Buy one module with bigger capacity than two/three modules with smaller capacity so you can leave the empty slot(s) for future upgrade.<Learn More>

Buy the faster memory when there are more than one speed available for faster speed.<Learn More>

Mix and Match is ok. Different sizes/speeds of memory module can be used together as long as the specifications meet the system requirements.<Learn More>
